At garage sales, are you attracted to those still usable but slightly defective items that no one else wants? Remember when high school kids were required to take shop and/or home economics? Do you keep things until no one else wants them? Do you enjoy making old things new again? If so, you are in the minority.

Garage sale and thrift store furniture bargains abound. My daybed mattresses were previously used by a young girl, in her growing up bedroom, then stored by the parents for years. So, if you have the time and the patience, you can safely and economically reuse furniture of almost any type. Ways to save on furniture.

The Frugal Girl

JANUARY 29, 2024

Now-I’m a single parent who works part-time, cares for my elder mother, homeschools & runs a farm. When college was looming, my parents offered to let me live at home cost-free while I was in college, as their contribution to my higher education. There’s always been garage sales/flea markets, library, state parks, fishing.
